January 16, 20188 yr I am thinking of upgrading my GTX 960 for P3DV4.1. I am looking at the EVGA 1070 TI and the EVGA 1080. I know they are currently unavailable but I talked with EVGA today and they suggested that they would be very surprised if they were still unavailable 90 days from now. they are still in production. I am currently running 1 monitor at 1920x1080 resolution. So what is your recommendation and why? Greg Greg Morin Commercial ASMEL Instrument CFI Beta Tester i Blue Yonder, Flightbeam and Milviz
January 16, 20188 yr If you check benchmarks on the IN you will find that the 1080 is slightly better in performance. However the 1070 Ti is little expensive , although the difference is not that much. 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0
January 16, 20188 yr Hi Greg, My new build is waiting on a video card... Same dilemma - even though the 1070 TI is almost 1080 from what I read - I’m going with the 1080 - as the specs quote a bit faster speed... Try Micro Center if you have one near you - they tend to have inventory when online retailers run out... I found they have really good prices and beat Amazon and New Egg on my CPU, Mobo, and memory... Regards, Scott
January 16, 20188 yr Follow this question, anyone know why currently seems price of GTX 1080 or 1070 has been skyrocket.
January 16, 20188 yr 1080 as you can push it really nice. Go to newegg if you;re in US, find the one you like and add notifications. Once you get a email just run order and enjoy. I got my card a week ago like this. They are constantly restocking them. Also price for me was nearly $40 less than 5 minutes after I completed the purchase. I got this one. Stellar reviews and not bad price. I sold my 970 G1 on ebay for nice price too. They are selling like hot cakes.https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487244 34 minutes ago, nicboyGS said: Follow this question, anyone know why currently seems price of GTX 1080 or 1070 has been skyrocket.

I don't think they will go down in near future. right now seems all 1080 are over $600 which was unreasonable. The crepocurrency issus has been long. Why recently so high.
January 17, 20188 yr Author Thanks guys! You confirmed what i was thinking. I will go with a 1080 when the inventory recovers. Greg Greg Morin Commercial ASMEL Instrument CFI Beta Tester i Blue Yonder, Flightbeam and Milviz

Ti (the decent ones) sell for 850+. I bought my 1080 SC for $545 with powerlink and free delivery. I can take that. Pawel Grochowski

Greg If you're planning to stay with a 1920x1080 monitor, the 1070 Ti will give you great performance and the 1080 card is not really worth the extra cost at that resolution. If you do decide to go for a 1080, make sure that you get one of the newer, 11Gbps cards with the faster memory. The standard 1080 is only a little faster than the 1070 Ti and probably not worth the extra money. Take a look here to see the relative performances: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/asus_geforce_gtx_1070_ti_strix_gaming_review,45.html i7-14700k | Asus ROG STRIX Z790-F Gaming WIFI | 32GB DDR5 RAM | MSI RTX 4080 Super | WD Black SN850X 1TB & 2TB | Corsair HX1000i ATX3.0 | MSI MAG401QR 40" monitor | Win 11 Pro 64-bit | Meta Quest 3
January 17, 20188 yr Author I think the price needs to be compared when the shortage is over. Currently the 1070 Ti and the 1080 are very similar in cost. I appreciate the comment on the resolution. Greg Greg Morin Commercial ASMEL Instrument CFI Beta Tester i Blue Yonder, Flightbeam and Milviz
January 17, 20188 yr If I had to pick, I go with the highest! Yet comes down to the price! only get what you can afford
January 17, 20188 yr Just check this thread for OC of the EVGA SC version. Price difference between the 1070Ti is insignificant but this one will last you even when you want to go 4K. https://forums.evga.com/Post-your-overclocks-FTW-SC-m2502405.aspx Pawel Grochowski
